Not really.. most laptop usb ports can handle ~800/900ma just fine. i.e. with my evo, it normally charges at 500ma using a standard microusb cable.. but if I use a special charge-only cable (middle pins are shorted out), then it charges at ~800ma..

Not surprising:

[Nook Color General] lelandjs:
I'll echo the fact that while USB as a spec isn't limited though sometimes a computer manufacturers will place a limit on it. MacBook Airs won't put out more than 500ish, for instance. The reason for that, I believe, is because Apple wanted to keep the power brick as small as possible (it's significantly smaller than the MacBook Pro's), which meant that the maximum wattage passing through the brick was limited. Since Apple didn't want the MBA to use more power than it could pull through the cord, it limited the power output of the USB ports. I've never needed more than 500 before I got the NC, so I never really cared (and I still don't).

But it is a thing.

And, for example, some motherboards have a feature that is a perfect example of bending the standards.

So, the HTC charger charged it from non-booting to full (ish) charge in 3 - 4 hours, and this time it didn't feel particularly hot. Not sure how or why, but this is certainly a relief :)

Why not just get a new adapter, they're not expensive.

i installed a theme that is not compatible with my rom, that prevent my phone from turning on, so i downloaded a theme that looks compatible, and my phone comes to live again.

the theme is revolution DHD theme, any way to revert to stock theme?

my rom is RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed

i realized that my camera, gps and wifi are not working, the camera make a FC always, videos are not playing also.

please help me finding the original DHD froyo stock sense look, that comes with my DHD including:

-notification status icons

-phone dialer canvas

-stock gray menus

-same HTC DHD stock connectivity drop down menu

...

N.B.: now i tried a lot of themes (.zip from CWM) but nothing works, whatever i do, i still have the DHD revolution, it wont change.

Do i need to do any kind of wiping, to resolve this problem, is tehre a clean stock theme that will replace the DHD revolution, i want to add that i prefer to not format and install a new rom, coz i have a lot of settings and apps that would take too much to get them back, appreciate your helps.
[Xoom General] bloggy:
For some reason I can't seem to carry out a chat in googletalk. My messages go out instantly, but I don't get replies for ~45 minutes

before you tell me to get new friends, let me assure you that I am receiving replies on desktop GT and on my droidx promptly.

This behavior is consistent, whether I am inside google talk with current conversation selected, or doing something else.

Also, I don't seem to be seeing notifications for new gmail messages either. Those are at least coming in properly though.
[Xoom General] mrmomoman:
Get new friends :) j/k

I have no problem carrying on multiple conversations with G-Talk. It works fine for me both in Wifi-Mode and on 3G.

Typing. Like. This. Is. Driving. Me. Crazy.

For what ever reason, when I try to type fast, i constantly hit the period button. I've tried swype, which is neat and all, but instinctively i type with two thumbs on my phone, so even in swype mode, i run into this issue.

Is there any way to maybe move the period button over to the left of the keyboard?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Streak 5 General] krazman325:
Thumb Keyboard should take care of your problem. It offers several different layouts and you can increase or decrease the key height as well.

The different layouts have a long spacebar or a split spacebar if you type two-thumbed!

The developer is very responsive. He e-mailed me that in upcoming release user will be able to customize the location of the various symbols/punctuation that share the letter/number keys.

Well worth the small purchase fee!!!
[Streak 5 General] treylemkn:
No no, not thumb keyboard. Smart keyboard pro. I had the same problem when I switched from iphone to android. Kept hitting the f-ing period button. Smart keyboard lets you remove the period and comma on the sides of the space bar. It makes the space bar HUGE!!! Best two bucks you've ever spent. And you can adjust the height of the keys. All kinds of tweaks. Hands down the best 3rd party keyboard out there.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Here is a gallery of keyboards in protrait. My favorite right now is ultra keyboard, but thumb keyboard is a close second, and slideit is nice for quick texts.

Click on the thumbs for larger images. They are actual screenshots from my phone.
[Streak 5 General] cyapalmpos:
ditto for thumb keyboard. I love it. Gives you TWO spacebars and a numpad in the middle. I was having problems reaching the inside keys on this big 'ol screen but no more.

I think it's all personal pref. Try em out.
[Streak 5 General] over2land:
The period and arrow keys on the 5-inch thumb keyboard kill me... but it is the best I've found.

I hate having to switch screens to edit or put in numbers and symbols.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
I've found ultra keyboard to be my new favorite keyboard. Thank you. :)

Goodbye swype hello ultra.

Is there a Skype AP?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Morkai Almandragon:
I just got it off the market
[Xoom Themes and Apps] smaskell:
the regular skype app doesn't allow calling over 3g in the US, but the verizon specific one does. The xoom is a verizon device so.. there you go

It's kind of depressing that I know that, being a canadian...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Morkai Almandragon:
The verizon app is skype mobile... This is just skype...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sarashah:

Use Fring. Its free video chat. Gtalk does as well. I believe both can be used over 3g, 4g or wifi. Skype sucks.

Lol my bad. Not my intention. Just typing it the way it read when it came up.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Morkai Almandragon:

The problem is getting all your friends so switch! Also Fring has no pc client & with gtalk you can't voice/video chat with other smartphones.

[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Its on every damn page and it is so annoying. I'm find with popups as long as they don't prevent me from seeing whats on the page, I wouldn't even mind ads but a sticky popup at the bottom of my page is just ridiculous. Anyone else getting these?

EDIT: Picture:
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Yep. Annoying that it pops up on every single page you open. Ads... they invade us everywhere.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
This just started for me today and its honestly getting to the point where I'm starting to not want to come here anymore.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
im not getting any of these pop ups. on the phone i have the browser set to not allow pop ups and i use adfree to block ads. on the desktop i use the chrome browser.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Ya I might just start using my phone to browse XDA because this is ridiculous. I've tried Chrome (Mac), Chrome (Windows), ChromeOS, Safari, Firefox (Mac), Firefox (Windows), Internet Explorer 8, and Opera (Mac). This all started last night and I'm just baffled. Like I said, I'm all for using ads to support the website as I'm sure its not cheap to run XDA but this popup is a sticky at the bottom of the screen, reloads on every page and nullifies the clickable area where it was after its been closed.

Edit: I added a screenshot to the OP.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Good to reason to use Firefox, those pop-up sucks big time. Super annoying
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
But they still come up on Firefox for me. I can't figure out how these aren't being blocked...it seems to be an embedded image because clicking on it brings up an embedded page...Its ****ing annoying as ****.

EDIT Got a response from XDA senior mods:

[Nexus S General] Xandlinger:

[Galaxy Tab General] gordesky1:
Ok i decided i post what i did to recovery my sprints tab from a bad kernel flash that i didn't install clock work recovery, I thought my tab was a lost cause which i even chatted with hsn were i bought mine at for a replacement which would've took up to 30days.. So awhile i wait for that i decided to try and get it working till i get the prepaid label lol

Matter what i did it kept getting stuck at the samsung screen and couldn't get into recovery but download mode work luckly. i tried all kernels listed and it still got stuck which at the time i thought my tab was bricked or semi brick.

What i did is keep searching for the stock firmware which was hard to find but i found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9753941#post9753941

Heres a direct link http://www.multiupload.com/WDKOUJSM2G

Thanks to ZoinksS2k for the tab sprint no modem firmware:)

And downloaded the stock no modem firmware the modem one is listed too but it will kill your gps and 3g might not work so i just did the no modem one.

So i downloaded it and odin was package with it and i couldn't get it to detect my tab in download mode ony when the tab was off it detected it..

So i tried heimdall and at first i couldn't get it to flash the start button was grayed out because i was putting the tar file into pda/code so i open the tar file and found factory.rfs param.ifs and cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs so i loaded all thoes in the heimfall boxes and than loaded the stock zimage which is in the tar too.

And than i flashed and saw the samsung screen and it went right pass it and played the samsung splash screen so i knew i was getting somewhere so it got stuck on the next samsung screen again.. So i turn it off and hold home button and volume up button than i push the power button and hold all 3 buttons till i saw the samsung screen and i left go the power button and the stock recovery loaded right up:)

So i did the wipe data/factory reset and i also did the wipe cache data just in case but im sure just the factory reset would work, And i restarted the tab and it went pass all screens and it loaded android!!! And everything was working 3g wifi gps and everything else.

So hopefully this guide will help others as a last resort if you ony get the samsung screen and download mode ony,If you get the receovery than just do the factory wipe.

This is worth a try first than sending it back to samsung and having to wait too get your tab back:) It sure saved me from having to send it back too hsn or samsung.

If you want you can thank me if this help you for providing the info:)
[Galaxy Tab General] oxeneers:
Gordesky,

Any idea how to go back to stock firmware + stock modem and all that from using the voodoo kernel? I have CWM Recovery 3.0 working.
[Galaxy Tab General] oxeneers:
Because, after going into Voodoo CWM Recovery, using wipe data/factory reset still keeps the kernel that I installed on - which is what makes my camera screwy.
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
If you want to go back to fully stock then follow his instructions and flash the stock kernel from the Zephyr thread. I actually am in the same boat as the OP and followed his instructions and now I'm fully back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab General] gordesky1:
Yep just do what I said which the tar file also have the stock kernel too.

Right now im on the voodoo kernel which works perfect except that cdrom problem but camera works for me so im gonna still with.this kernel so far. It seems the new sprint update doesint work right with the voodoo kernel problaby why I dont have any problems because I didint install the sprint update.

So when you go back too stock and want too give the voodoo another try dont install the sprint update when it asks you too, And everything should work other than the sdcard cdrom problems, Which I can deal with till it gets fixed because I do love the speed of this voodoo kernel

And the sound:)
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
Thank you gordesky1 for posting your experience because I was going through the exact same thing and I was at a loss as to how to resolve it. Unfortunately I did install the update but I'm pretty sure if I flash the same files again that I will go back to the original rom if that's necessary. The big problem with that is that the exchange fix in the update was something i was waiting for =\ so I think i'm going to wait and see if some of these issues are fixed in the next update but I wonder if we have to get Boushh a Sprint tab though =\ every day I curse myself for not getting a t-mobile or at least a Verizon tab *sigh*
[Galaxy Tab General] gordesky1:
No problem:)

Ya tell me about it... Bad thing for me is the sprint was my ony option which i got it because hsn were i bought it from had a flex pay on this tab which they ony have the sprint tab, and at the time i couldint pay 400 or 600$ right out. And i also got a 3years warranty on top of it from them even if i break it or drop it anywere which i pretty much got for free because they made a mistake at first with some software:)

The other tabs have cheaper 3g too like 5gb for 15 too 30$ a month.. But so far sprint is treating me good and the 3g has been stable so far and pretty fast loading webpages and can usely watch a youtube video but dont want too use up my monthy usage lol i usely use up too 500 too 600mbs max out of 2g and i useit every day and even download apps with it when im not near a wifi spot and listen too pandora too so i was suprized i didint get close too the 2gb limit yet.

Hopefully this thread will help more and save them from having too send it back too samsung or were they got it from, i know how it feels not having this tab which i use everyday at work.
[Galaxy Tab General] shoman24v:
I knew not to flash the modem from the restore package posted but when I tried to restore I used the .pit and the .tar. Failed at modem. So, being dumb I flashed the modem file. ugh.

Now I know all you need to do is flash the .tar, nothing else, no pit.

this worked! I was able to get rid of CWM, my tab is 100% stock again! thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy Tab General] jcaf77:
well, I tried installing the update from sprint and goes back to CMW and starts doing the freaking back up again!! What the heck!!! anyone can tell me how to get back to stock recovery!! this is driving me nuts!
[Galaxy Tab General] lphillips80:
I flash the above .tar and .pit with Odin and I still can't get rid of CWM. I had CWM 3.0 working. Then I flashed a Kernel (Khasmek) with kernel flasher and the damn thing froze on the splash screen. So I odin and it doesn't do a full factory reset. CWM folder is still there. Does anbody know how to completely revert back to stock firmware?

I basically want to start over from scratch and never use Kernel flasher.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
Flash the zImage from the stock rom in the recovery slot using hiemdall and it will flash the stock recovery over cwm.
[Galaxy Tab General] jcaf77:
I performed that action and it works it does get rid of CWM but now I am still unable to install sprint updates they fail half way into it
[Galaxy Tab General] technote:
I am having the exact same problem, really wish I had read your post before I attempted to get CWM on my sprint galaxy tab.

I believe the update failed for me due to mismatch baseband (EB28) and system build (DJ30), I am looking for a roto backup copy of system build EB28, if anyone have it, please help and upload!

Many thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] lphillips80:
I flashed the zImage with heimdall and it still wont do a sprint system update and also I cannot do the cwm process again to format to ext4.
[Galaxy Tab General] technote:
Check out the newly leaked EA24 flasher, it will update both system and baseband to EA24 and you will be able to update after that.
[Galaxy Tab General] lphillips80:
Thanks technote. I used the above and worked awesome!
[Galaxy Tab General] AnthonyAldrete:
okay, im farily new to the galaxy tab forums, only reason im here is because my friend bricked his tab and figured i could take a stab at it, i mean im good at fixing my galaxy s so i figured, how hard can this be. Wrong, my head is killing me because i cant figure this out. His tab is stuck in a boot loop mean it goes to the "samsung" screen and then stays there forever. I tried using odin with the stock firmware with no modem, everything went good but when it attemped to restart still nothing ? can someone please school me on how to do this properly please. Im a pretty good listener if im given descent instructions lol please by all means HELP lol
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
1. Download & install Heimdall (take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878686)

2. Download the firmware from the link on the OP in this thread

The link is a .rar file. Extract it, and you'll get tab_sprint_noModem_20101226.tar.

Extract the .tar and you'll get:

cache.rfs

dbdata.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

param.lfs

zimage

3. Connect your tab to the PC

4. Power up the tab into Download Mode (hold vol down and press power)

Note: don't hold the power button too long, just long enough to power up

Do continue to hold the vol down button until you get the download screen

5. Open Heimdall

Use the "Browse" buttons in the various sections to select the appropriate files

zimage goes in BOTH the kernel AND recovery slots

factoryfs.rfs goes in the FactoryFS slot

cache.rfs goes in the Cache slot

dbdata.rfs goes in the Database Data slot

param.lfs goes in the Param.lfs slot

4. Hit "Start" to flash

5. Power down the tab

6. Power back up into recovery mode (hold vol up and press power)

7. Wipe data and cache

Your tab should now boot

I HIGHLY recommend reading all the way through this thread, the one it links to, and the ones I've linked to before starting this.

If you see anything that contradicts or causes confusion, ask before you start.

I am NOT an expert, lol. I am just giving you what I've learned :)
[Galaxy Tab General] endaroe:
I am using SPH-P100 and having the same problem.

Incidentally I run format boot, format system/ format data. I though of formating SD card. After that... It stuck on samsung logo...

Have tried flashing with many roms sucessfully, but failed to start.

Now when I go into recovery mode it shows error message

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(Invalid argument)

E: Can't mount CACHE: log/recovery.log

E: Can't open CACHE: log/recovery.log

Please help...

Does it anything to do with problem with internal/external memory partition?

How to solve..

**Desperately & and hopelessly wait a solution after a week with no luck**
[Galaxy Tab General] onlinespending:
I was stuck at the Samsung logo boot screen so I followed this guide. Everything worked well, my Sprint Tab is now working fine.

However, before when I first received my Tab I immediately received two OTA updates which showed the firmware as being 2.2.1. Now after this restore, I only got one update and the firmware is showing as 2.2. I've tried checking for updates, but nothing. Is there a way to force it to get the 2.2.1 update?

UPDATE: I used the EA24 stock Rom from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009926) and followed the same instructions here. That allowed me to get EB28 OTA.

[Galaxy Tab General] silverhawknike:
Thank you for ur help! Ur post FINALLY make my Tab arise from bricked dead. Everything going great but It seem that 3G radio is disabled and I cannot see the Baseband Version. I did got a Sprint Modem.bin from Modem List thread. And I attempt to flash it but it seem it freeze as the Heimdall program said 100% and it suppose to reboot automatically but it doesn't. Can you help me?

[Galaxy Tab General] wikaman:
ive tried everything on the internet to get mine workin again. tried makin a thread here as well and no one reponded. i get the above errors as well when i flashed one firware package with odin and it went thru ok. and im guessing becasue of that im stuck in a boot loop. tried these steps just now and heimdall told me failed to access device. error -12. it seems like a hopeless case
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
If you can't get Heimdall to see your Tab in download mode, you need to install the drivers that come with it. Once you've got the drivers installed you should be able to flash the individual files from the stock EA24 tar once you've extracted them.

http://www.multiupload.com/LXQKGX5RHL

That should get you back to total stock everything. There are all kinds of guides on XDA (this one should help with Heimdall http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208996) that should get you back up and running. Unless it's an actual hardware issue with your Tab, in which case you'd have to look at the unbricking services, or Samsung if you have a warranty.
